Winner: Danny Woodhead, running back, Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens made a clever free agent signing by bringing veteran running back Woodhead onto the squad.
Woodhead is one of the best pass-catching backs in the league. As such, he has tallied more receiving yards (2,498) and receiving touchdowns (17) than he has rushing yards and rushing touchdowns since entering the NFL in 2009.
He is sure to become a fabulous right-hand man for quarterback Joe Flacco in short-yardage situations. The two should bond nicely while second-year running back Kenneth Dixon sits out a four-game suspension for violating the NFL PED policy. Way to go.
Dixon was beginning to learn the ropes towards the last half of 2016 and tallied 118 touches while alternating snaps with Terrence West.
Now that Woodhead is in the picture, Dixon’s stint on the league’s naughty list could cost him. Meanwhile, Woodhead brings maturity and talent to the table after spending seven combined seasons playing with Tom Brady and Philip Rivers.
